Another excellent stay.
Another excellent stay as always. Friendly and welcoming reception staff. Always very clean room and extremely comfortable beds and pillows. Very reasonably priced parking. All this plus the convenience to the airport ideal for those early morning departures. Wouldn't stay anywhere else.

Need to get their advertising sorted. Told a restaurant was closed for the month when in fact it was open in the morning. The other option was confusing for dinner. Closes at 6pm No it actually closed at 9.30pm. Bit of a nuisance. Didnt ruin the stay

Was able to leave luggage at reception well before check in time & then go back later for check in. Clean modern room. Access to airport fantastic especially as we had a 6am flight departure.

Would stay further out from airport
The hotel and parking were difficult to find/get to. I had a hard time getting someone to note a late check-in even though I called early in the day to give plenty of notice that we'd be a late arrival due to our ferry crossing. Despite our late arrival, there was no mention/offer of a late check out so we could actually get some sleep and the lights were weird and difficult to turn on/off in the room. I also got a bruise and 3 cuts from the bench in the room.

Nice with some exceptions
I guess they were busy over the holiday season - I was surprised that an airport hotel wouldn't have rooms ready and available pretty much around the clock. However, the nice man at the desk did finally manage me a room at 12 noon. I needed to be up at 4 am for my flight and had work to do before I went to bed early. Unfortunately, the room did not have a desk and there is no business center in the hotel - they suggested I could work in the restaurant; nowhere near ideal. Surprised me as one would guess there would be business travelers there frequently. Overall, though, my stay was pleasant enough.

We often stay at this hotel when we have early-morning flights as it's just a quick few steps from the hotel room to the airline check-in counters. You couldn't find a place more handy. This time, the woman at the reception desk was particularly welcoming and friendly; even finding me a toothbrush when I realised I'd left mine at home.

Very comfortable and convenient.
Was a very comfortable bed. I thought it would be a bit loud having the airport right there but didn’t hear a thing. The parking is a bit confusing. You need to park in the coloured parking building directly across from the hotel (pay reception $15) then you need them to validate your ticket each time you need to leave the parking. Also I Couldn’t for the life of me work out how to use the side table lamps?

The hotel is very convenient if you are flying into or out of Wellington Airport. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was fine. The phone in the room was filthy - it looked like it had not been cleaned for a very long time ... there was no way I was putting it anywhere near my face!
